According to the Mozilla website:
http://www.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/internet-keywords.html

<quote>
"Internet Keywords" enhances the Navigation toolbar's "Location" field 
by allowing the contents to be sent to a remote server, rather than be 
handled by the browser.
</quote>

So in other words, in this case the "remote server" would be Google. 
(?)  This could be confirmed by turning off the option and doing the 
same thing.  The real question, I think, is, "how come it's using the 
lucky feeling instead of doing a regular search?"
